Irish Soda Scones
Irish Soda Scones
Irish soda scones is a traditional Irish treat that is quick and delicious to make and are perfect for breakfast or tea. The secret to these scones is that they are made with baking soda, not yeast so they rise without needing the extra time to proof.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour divided
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter cubed
- 2/3 cup raisins
- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons raw turbinado sugar
- extra butter and jam, for serving (optional but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add butter and using a pastry cutter or your hands, rub the butter into the flour mixture until a coarse mixture forms.
- In a small bowl, toss together the raisins with the teaspoon of flour.
- Add the raisins, caraway seeds, and buttermilk to the scone dough and mix just until combined.
- Using 2 spoons or an ice-cream scoop, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. The mixture makes 8 scones.
- Sprinkle on the raw sugar and transfer into the oven to bake until deeply golden-brown on top and bottom, approximately 18-20 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely before serving with extra butter and jam of choice. Enjoy!
